Although law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the shooting death by Woodland police of a parolee found inside the home of his ex-wife on Sunday, residents of the apartment complex are showing little sign of distress or fear.

The man was found dead after a police standoff ended at 7:38 p.m., when officers entered the apartment.

The standoff started as an officer-involved shooting around 4 p.m.

The officers involved in the shooting have been put on five-day administrative leave while the case is investigated.

Woodland Police Lt. Charlie Wilts had little comment Monday afternoon, saying only that all indications are the person shot was who police suspected he was.

However, Wilts deferred the identity of the individual to the Yolo County Coroner”s Office.

Whether the officer killed the suspect or not is unknown, though the California Department of Justice was asked to send an evidence team to the scene.

Wilts said the standoff was related to an ongoing stalking case.

According to initial information, the shooting occurred at the Park Manor apartment complex, 36 Oak Ave. Officers went to apartment No. 28 at about 4 p.m. on Sunday as part of a routine check-up, due to the case.

Wilts said the door to the apartment had been kicked in by an accused stalker on Saturday. When police arrived at the scene Sunday to check in on the tenant, they apparently found the suspect in the apartment.

There was an exchange of gunfire, Wilts said. Officers were heard shouting over the police scanner, “Shots fired, shots fired!”

Soon after that, a female officer was heard saying, “I think I shot him,” and was advised to slowly exit the area she was in.

No officers were hurt.

A Special Weapons and Tactics team entered the apartment several hours later and found the suspect dead, Wilts said, and in generally the same place where officers left him when they retreated and called for back-up.

Police said they could not confirm whether the man was the stalker or not.

Wilts said the victim was not in the apartment at the time and is safe. He said she and the accused stalker were married at one point.

Part of the apartment complex was evacuated during the incident. Tenants were taken to nearby Lee Middle School on West Street.

Susana Lopez and her family live in the apartment that shares a wall with apartment No. 28, she said, speaking in Spanish. About two hours after she heard the first gunshot, police knocked on her door and told her husband to evacuate the apartment. Lopez” two young children were also in the apartment.

She said that she was in the bathroom bathing her children when she heard the first gunshot. Instinctively, she threw her arms over her children and told them to duck. As soon as she heard sirens, she and her husband took their children into the room farthest from where she thought the gunshots were fired.

Her husband went to the living room and looked through the window to see what was happening, Lopez said. At the same time, police started to arrive on the scene and signaled for him to move away from the window.

Lopez said that later that night, police informed them it was safe to return to the complex and that there was nothing to worry about.

She said that as an adult she does not feel unsafe living in the complex after the incident, but she is worried about her children. The children were terrified by the gunshots and kept asking for an explanation.

While the shooting had an effect on the young children, other tenants were not worried about living in the complex after the incident.

Eraclio Rosas said that his side of the complex was not evacuated, but he did hear the gun shots.

“I thought they were fireworks at first,” he said.

Although he was surprised to see the SWAT officers at the scene, he does not feel unsafe about living area, Rosas said.

Even though the standoff went on for several hours, there is little buzz around the complex itself.

Delia Hernandez said that she was not in her apartment on Sunday, and only heard about the shooting because her sister told her after gathering information from the media.

Hernandez said that she has been living in the complex for two years and still feels safe living in her apartment. However, she was shocked because she had never seen anything like the shooting occur in the complex.

“Usually the people are really quiet,” she said. “We”ve had no problems.”
